Story entitled 'John MacLeod' about a famous swordsman who 'could cut the button from the neck of his opponent's shirt'. He was smothered by a snow storm by 'his own garden wall' having been out hunting. The story states that his tomb is in the church at Rodail [St Clement's Church, Rodel, Na Hearadh/Isle of Harris] and that the stone for it was hewn locally at Geocrab. Text has been scored through as if transcribed elsewhere.
